All the pieces that people are pleased with use a variegated thread with a small range of colour variation - shades of one colour, or two adjacent colours on the colour wheel. The types of variegated thread that have several colours in break up the item visually so that for me the shape of the lace itself is lost. -- Money can't buy everything.
